React ES6 Spread Operator

❮ Prev Next ❯

Spread Operator

The JavaScript spread operator (...) allows us to quickly copy all or part of an existing array or object into another array or object.

Example

const numbersOne = [1, 2, 3];
const numbersTwo = [4, 5, 6];
const numbersCombined = [...numbersOne, ...numbersTwo];

The spread operator is often used in combination with destructuring.

Example

Assign the first and second items from numbers to variables and put the rest in an array:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

const [one, two, ...rest] = numbers;

We can use the spread operator with objects too:

Example

Combine these two objects:

const myVehicle = {
  brand: 'Ford',
  model: 'Mustang',
  color: 'red'
}

const updateMyVehicle = {
  type: 'car',
  year: 2021,
  color: 'yellow'
}

const myUpdatedVehicle = {...myVehicle, ...updateMyVehicle}

Try it Yourself »

Notice the properties that did not match were combined, but the property that did match, color, was overwritten by the last object that was passed, updateMyVehicle. The resulting color is now yellow.

Test Yourself With Exercises

Exercise:

Use the spread operator to combine the following arrays.

const arrayOne = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
const arrayTwo = [1, 2, 3];
const arraysCombined = [];
